Reviews for "Lost In Clear Blue V.2 (Sonik)"

Yay, it's a V2! (german rocket? :-P j/k)

Okay, first of all, I don't have my good speakers with me, so I'm listening to this out of my crappy laptop speakers. That effectively means I have no bass whatsoever (I'll probably put up another more complete comment when I get my hands on them again). Having said that, I'll try to limit my commentary to speed (which is in no shortage) and such. :-P

The song is definitely more crowded in general than the original with wildly higher energy. :-D

+ 0:00-0:13 + It's so glitchy and yet so lovely. Elated to see you did something about that somewhat annoying fall off the pad had in the original. :-D

= 0:13-0:15 = not too sure about this transition. On the one hand, it's growing on me (I pretty much both like and expect it now [three listens so far]), on the other hand, it feels too drastic a change to be seamless. The previous part is rapid fire chip-tune with glitchy sounds, and the next part is a (relatively) slow and smooth instrument flying solo for a few seconds. But, like I said, it's growing on me, so I'm not sure it's much of an issue.
EDIT: 8th time through, and I don't even notice it anymore. -.-'

+ 0:19-0:20 + Did you change the background that originally popped up around here? These particular drums definitely feel more... pregnant. :-D

++ 1:31 ++ the song broke off into something totally epic. Can't really define it, but, I personally enjoy parts where multi-layered songs suddenly become simple while still retaining the feel of the previous part. This transition hit me in the face with a brick (of awesomeness) on my first listen through.

- 2:35-3:28 - Almost a full minute of that Star-Trekkish-laser-shooting-sound coming on and off in the background. IMO, it'd have been far nicer if you were a bit more selective about how you used it. Given the fast pace of the song and how relatively slow the laser-shooting-sound is, the different pacings of the sound sort of began to grind in my head after a while. Also, I think you use two different sounds for that laser-ish sound... Dunno if it's pitch or volume or both, but the second one that ever plays during this time interval gets -particularly- annoying. As a side note, the sparse previous uses of the sound were okay IMO.

+ 4:16-4:23 + For the wildly high energy of the song, I think you chose the right outro. :-D

- 4:24-end - It's almost 10 seconds of borderline silence...

= Overall = It's so crowded!! Uber high energy everywhere and some pretty nice chip-tune awesome interspersed all about. My one major major problem with this song over the previous version is that laser-shooting sound going off constantly for a straight minute.

5/5, 9.5/10 (rounds to a 10/10 :-P), +1 download (as soon as I switch to my linux boot).

Good. Different, but very good.

now, this is how you do a second version of a song!! the original is still one of my fav songs of all. i never expected a second version, but it turned out really good!

awesome

a little fast paced, the hihat in the phaser sounds nice dude.
and that break before the middle of the song was amazing
love it!!!! :D
